Question

My current project has a .js file with hard coded data in it. So I am referencing this file and on clientside. I am using this file to get the data when ever I require on client side. But my task is to generate this .js file dynamically. I am getting my values in json format from database. SO I need a way to write this json formatted data into .js file, so I can use that written data on client side.

Needed Format in JS:

var list = new Array();
list["1000"] = "TestEvent1";

Actual Json Format:

{
    "__metadata": {
        "type": "event_Result"
    }, "event_id": 1000, "event_GROUPId": 17, "event_name": "TestEvent1", 
}

Please help me.

Thanks

You can have a generic handler ashx that outputs javascript content. Set your output content type to “text-javascript”.

It doesn’t have to have a file extension of .js, the content type and how it’s reference is what matters

<script type="text/javascript" src="myJavascript.ashx"></script>
